[RESOLVED] overwrite virtual template methods

[ltcmelo]

I cannot say that for sure because you didn't post all the code.

The hidding situation is in accordance to the standard. This happens even for non-templates classes. The C++ lookup mechanism will not look further for in other scopes if it already finds a name match in the current class. Example:

struct A
{
  bool IsValid(int i) const {return true;}
};

struct B : A
{
  bool IsValid(int x, int y) const {return true;} 

  //Uncomment below to fix.
  //using A::IsValid; 
};

int main()
{
  B b;
  int i = 10;
  bool x = b.IsValid(i); //Error, only IsValid(int, int) from B is visible.
  
  /* ... */
}

One way to fix it is with a using directive. Just uncoment the part I mention above.
